What to Know

Critics Consensus

Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura might be punching below their weight with Dope Thief's derivative story, but that doesn't stop them from making this thriller a riveting ride.

Graeme Blundell The Australian Dope Thief is a cracker of a show, possessing a pulpy vitality, superb acting and diverting action sequences, and it is as astutely engineered as any series we’ve seen this year. Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Chris Kelly Washington Post “Dope Thief” gets real by scratching below the surface of Philadelphia and its environs. Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times The series is elevated by the two leads, whose lively rapport offsets the repetitive cycle of chases, shoot-outs and self-sabotage. Rated: 3/5 Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene “Dope Thief” alternates between high drama and some satiric comedy, not always making the transition gracefully. But Henry and Moura are weirdly compelling as two guys in way over their heads. Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) As far as captivating crime dramas go, this is a wildly intense ride that should have you glued to your seat, shouting at the screen, pounding the cushions, and then bawling your eyes out. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 23, 2025 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator What bothers me, slightly, is the jarring mix of very graphic violence with amiable, warm-hearted domestic comedy. Sure, it’s a strength of sorts, because the latter makes the former more bearable; but it’s also a weakness. Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Linda V I loved this and would have given it a five, if I hadn’t been driven crazy by the Latino protagonist before from Brazil, but written as if he was a Spanish speaker Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Brett E Started out great and then went downhill halfway through. First couple episodes were great. But the writing was just terrible and got worse each episode. Great actors though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Rob W Really great show, wish I had seen it sooner! BTH is incredible as is the entire cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Tom F There's a lot to like here, but the series is poorly paced and many of the characters are ill-served. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Audience Member This series starts strong but ultimately gets tangled up in a morass of plot twists outlined in mumbled dialog that left me scratching my head. No wonder Apple hasn't ordered another season... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Richard E Decent show. For me, im a bit older and like the story, but there is a lot of chaos/yelling/unnecessary loud noises that had me reaching for the remote. Three and a half stars.
